The draw helped Brendan Rodgers’ men stretch their unbeaten run across all competitions to nine games which ensured they kept their place in the third spot on the league table after gathering 39 points from 20 games.
Everton meanwhile moved to seventh with 33 points from 18 games and Iwobi will hope to make a more impactful showing in their next league game against Newcastle United on January 30.
Ndidi has been struggling with various injuries since the start of the season which has limited his playing time to 15 games across all competitions.
The midfielder recently returned from a groin injury he suffered in September 2020 which ruled him out of action for more than three months.
It is still uncertain if the Super Eagles midfielder will be fit enough to feature for the King Power Stadium outfit in their next Premier League game against Leeds United on January 31.
Ndidi has been a consistent performer for Leicester City since teaming up with the club from Belgian side Genk.
